49 million people in the U.S. — one in four children — don’t know where their next meal is coming from, despite our having the means to provide nutritious, affordable food for all Americans. Directors Kristi Jacobson and Lori Silverbush examine this issue through the lens of three people for who are struggling with food insecurity. Their stories are interwoven with insights from experts and activists including Top Chef’s Tom Colicchio and Oscar (R)-winning actor Jeff Bridges. Panel discussion and Q&A follows the film.
